Large engines are critical to power generation, marine propulsion, mining operations, and heavy industry throughout Africa. When a crankshaft becomes worn, scored, or misaligned, in situ crankshaft grinding repair is the fastest and most economical solution—restoring performance without removing the crankshaft.
What Is In Situ Crankshaft Grinding?
In situ crankshaft grinding is the process of regrinding damaged crankshaft journals while the crankshaft remains installed in the engine block. Specialized portable grinding equipment is used to restore journal geometry and surface finish—eliminating the need for costly dismantling or overseas repair.
Why It Matters in Africa
Transporting crankshafts for repair can be time-consuming, expensive, and risky—especially for:
- Power stations in remote regions
- Marine vessels operating at port
- Refineries and offshore rigs
- Heavy-duty generators and engines in mining
With in situ repair, your operation stays on-site, and downtime is minimized.
Common Crankshaft Issues Resolved by In Situ Grinding
- Scored or worn crankpin and main journals
- Ovality and taper on journal surfaces
- Surface cracks or fatigue marks
- Misalignment or vibration-causing damage
- Bearing seizure and localized heat spots
Industries That Rely on In Situ Crankshaft Grinding
- Thermal and hydroelectric power generation
- Oil & gas plants and FPSOs
